Nice hammer hatchet with what appears to be the original handle. The metal is in very good condition with no pitting or corrosion. The handle is likely original and is very snug on the metal with absolutely no "wiggle". HOWEVER the handle does have a split (see last photo). These type splits are common as the wood ages. I debated about removing the handle but decided to let the new owner choose what to do. The handle is solid and snug.&nb...sp; Will clean up nicely. Look at the photos carefully and feel free to ask questions. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. I discount shipping fees when you buy two or more of my items at the same time.
